Product Description
TE450 steering stabilizer setup for the 2004-2005 Husqvarna TE 450, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. When the TE 450's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-11 (about 3.5 lb), the weld-on triple clamp kit is part DT-1006-4551 (about 7.5 lb) and the sub mount triple clamp kit is part DT-SUB-6032-06 (about 3.5 lb); 3 more options are listed below.

Do I need to drill or weld?

What does a TE450 steering stabilizer do?
When the TE 450's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the TE450 the same as on other bikes?
Almost always. The stabilizer is part 4200-00, and the mount is the part that changes from bike to bike. See the Scott's 4200-00 stabilizer.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 2004-2005 Husqvarna TE 450?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2004-2005 Husqvarna TE 450, the mount kit only part: DM-4551-11.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Husqvarna TE 450?
A tank slapper is a fast side to side shake of the handlebars. Our guides explain what causes it and how to decide whether you need a stabilizer: tank slappers, speed wobble and head shake and do you need a steering stabilizer.
Will a Scott's steering stabilizer fit my Husqvarna TE 450?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2004-2005 of the Husqvarna TE 450. Choose your year in the fitment bar and match the part number on the kit to your bike. Part numbers are explained in the kit guide.
How do I set the damping on a TE450 steering stabilizer?
Scott's says its off-road units damp as the bars turn away from center and let them return freely. Scott's also says the damping is adjustable, including while riding. The install guide covers settings.
How do I service a Scott's TE450 steering stabilizer?
Scott's says to treat it like suspension, with an occasional oil change depending on how hard you ride. See the service guide.
